We have now with the lad from Man City, so back up to 2 in the position. Whether he will be any good only time will tell.

Exactly this. I think people massively underestimate how important Maatsen was to us last year. His pace on the counter was a big part of our success.
I'm hopeful the new lad from Man City can fill his shoes and compliment Bidwell.

Coventry City agree deal to sign Burnley defender Luke McNally
Football Insider sources confirm Luke McNally is set to undergo a medical at Coventry City on Tuesday after agreeing to join the club from Burnley.
Scored a few goals from CB too.

Pete O'Rourke is the writer. He's relatively reliable.

he cost £2 million and signed a 4 year deal which will rise if promoted so very unlikely

At 6"4 he'll certainly give us another option from set pieces.
Well he's hardly played a minute for Burnley this season and won't play in the Premier league so is only worth what anyone will pay

I'd imagine the bulk of that £2m would've been add-on based.

However if he does well the bigger clubs would be ahead of us in any bidding war.

Middlesborough are reported to be looking to move Paddy McNair on.
I seem to remember Robins last season calling him the best defender in the Championship, It is a shame we cant afford him

Not when they want a bit of money off signing Vik!

I hope he does well, but another loan. How thrilling...

Surely if he does well here and Burnley go up, there's a deal to be done

On paper he looks just what we need with the recent defensive collapses against Swansea, Wrexham and Norwich. Thats our 5 loans used up though so only permanent signings from here on.

There’s a good chance we put out a back 5 of loans at some point this season

This lad fits the bill, Certainly need a commanding no non sense defender, our defending at set pieces vs Wrexham, Burnley and Norwich was horrendous. Gifted ridiculous goals away.

A caller on CWR last night said we'd not conceded a set piece all season until we lost McFadzean and we've since conceded 5.
Assuming the stat is correct (as I can't be bothered to check), that's pretty mental

As previously mentioned. If he does well here and Burnley go up, he'll be auctioned off to the highest bidder - which probably won't be us.

If he does good and Burnley dont go up - he'll stay at Burnley
If he does shit and Burnley go up - he be available but also be shit
If he does shit and Burnley don't do up - he'll probably be available but also be shit
We can't win. I tried.

It is a start and a step in the right direction though. Since Fadz was injured our defence has undoubtedly been our weakest link.
